Pet Sitters in Footscray

Victoria was once agaim amazing! This trip was a bit complex logistically because I wasn't sure the exact times/days I was going to be back, and Victoria was so accommodating and helpful! Thank you again for a wonderful sit!!

Monique and Wilfried are a delightful couple who communicated very well with us in advance and throughout their stay with regular updates on the house and pets. They were well organized, very friendly and easy to get along with. They did everything we asked them to do with our pets and also our garden and plants. They were respectful of the house and all its contents and they left the house in an extremely clean and tidy condition. We would be more than happy for them to sit for us again.

Kristin a and Nick were great - lovely people, good communication, reliable and we came back to a happy dog and a clean house. Definitely recommended!

Thank you

Savannah and Caroline was great house sitters. They took great care of my pooches and kept me updated. I highly recommend and they are welcome back anytime.

We couldn’t fault Mark and Darlene and how they looked after both Dora and our home. It was immaculate on our return. Very independent- but still kept us updated. Sadly, we didn’t get to meet them face to face but we are very grateful to them!

Iryna’s level of care for daisy has been extraordinary and way beyond expected. Iryna loves and understands cats and has an extensive level of knowledge regarding their care, both emotional and physical. In the past Daisy has been unsettled in my absence, causing her asthma to flare up but not on this occasion, due to extra attention and regular medication. Iryna’s passion even extended to visiting pet stores to purchase items which she considered would improve Daisy’s daily life - at her own expense. The electric, timed feeder will now help with keeping her diabetes in check and Daisy is enjoying her new cat litter and setup. Iryna is meticulous in every regard, my plants are healthy and the apartment spotless. She is completely trustworthy and reliable, she goes out of her way to accommodate and I recommend her without hesitation.

Yuki and Zoey were not responsible for Karma, our Airedale up. They were to water plants indoor and out, feed the wild birds daily, and check for deliveries. They accomplished these tasks to expectation. I'm giving them a 4-star in the 'Clean and tidy' category because they left in the late afternoon and yet did not wash the bed linens (used two bedrooms) or towels upon leaving. Other than that all was satisfactory. I would recommend to clearly articulate what is expected in the way of cleaning after themselves to anybody using Yuki. Other than that I recommend his care for house sitting.

I really wanted to leave a five star review as I have with every other sitter we've had, as Miriam was very lovely and said she loved our dogs. But the lost house key was a big issue for us. I'll start with the positives: -I had a great first chat with Miriam and was happy to have her at the house; she was pleasant and very flexible to change her arrival by a day when I messed up the dates, so I was grateful for that -She said she regularly took our dogs to the off leash park (which they love) -She left the kitchen and most of the house tidy -The plants were all in good shape -The cat was happy and healthy Less positive: -She lost our house key and seemed a bit cavalier about it; she didn't offer to pay for a replacement key or pay for rekeying the locks (which I now need to do) -She didn't communicate much during the whole sit unless I reached out; I never heard anything about the cat, and I didn't find out until days after that our 8mo puppy had been left unsupervised and uncrated for hours and had eaten an entire tin of liver treats; luckily she didn't get into something more dangerous/toxic -Our dogs were unusually starving when we got home, with both eating multiple servings of food that night (very weird for both of them as they are not big eaters) -There was feces in one toilet that had very likely been there for days; I had to scrub the toilet multiple times -The dirty bed linens were tossed on our bathroom floor -There were many bags of dog poop piled in our front garden -There were two dried puppy pee stains on one dog bed and one on the front door mat (either missed or ignored?) -Almost nothing on the zeewoi post-sit cleaning checklist had been done (I certainly don't expect a professionally cleaned home, but I always hope it to be as clean as I left it) As we've had many great sits previously, this was quite a departure from our normal zeewoi experience. And I'm guessing Miriam was likely overwhelmed with three dogs, as she also had her own puppy with her. But the loss of the house key and unusual intense hunger in both dogs were especially unsettling for us.

Florence was a wonderful sitter! She was quick to respond, very tidy, and very capable. Would definitely have her back anytime!

We would have Rebecca back to look after our golden doodle Emma in a heartbeat. Mark and I felt super comfortable and secure with her staying at our place with Emma. Within 5 minutes of Rebecca coming over Emma was sitting in her lap on her back getting belly rubs. Rebecca was in contact often and sent amazing update photos. She even gave Emma a bath before we came back so she was all clean and fluffy for our return. The house looked great too. Highly recommend.

If Antonella takes care of your home and pets half as good as she did ours, you’ll be happy! This was our first time using TH as homeowners. After posting our listing, we didn’t have applicants but had noticed that Antonella had saved our listing among her favorites. We reached out to her to inquire if she’d be available and interested in sitting our dog and cat for the two weeks we were going to be absent. We had a video chat with Antonella and immediately knew that Charlie and Asterix would be in good hands! She was friendly and flexible in her availability for the chat. She asked if a friend of hers could join her, which we welcomed as it meant more loving for the kids (Charlie and Asterix)! I was not home when Antonella and Ramina arrived (my husband greeted them alone), they were punctual, asked pertinent questions about the house & kids and were friendly to Charlie & Asterix who took to them right away. They showed up bearing gifts for Charlie to chew and Asterix to chase - instant hits! During the sit, Antonella stayed in touch sending messages, pictures and videos which showed her obvious love and attention to Charlie. For a dog that normally feels abandoned by us when we leave, he sure didn’t look like he was missing us! We have to admit that our feelings were a little bit hurt! This was a winter sit... it was snowy and cold... Antonella and Ramina nonetheless walked Charlie, taking the time to put his little booties on. They even shoveled our long driveway, which they didn’t need to do, as a neighbour was to clear it in our absence. And the weather was miserable, with snow storm after snow storm; it would have been quite the workout! Like if all this wasn’t enough, five days before the end of the sit, I realized my mistake in the return date I had indicated on the listing. I contacted Antonella to inform her and worriedly ask her if she could stay an extra day. She did not hesitate and agreed immediately, to our huge relief! She patiently went through the TH required steps to have the sit extended in the system, on a Saturday that should have been a well-deserved day off. We unfortunately didn’t have the chance to see Antonella and Ramina upon our return. They waited and made sure that our flight had landed not to leave Charlie and Asterix stranded had we been delayed and headed out for their long drive while we were on our way home. Like if we hadn’t been already impressed by Antonella by then, we got home to happy kids, an impeccable home (floors were mopped with no doggy paw prints, which is no small feat with wet snow on a dark floor), washed linen and towels, a maintained hot tub and the outdoor steps, walkway and deck cleared of snow. Antonella and Ramina had washed Charlie, he was white and fluffy, which was great with the amount of hugs and kisses we bestowed upon him! Charlie and Asterix even got their first report card! Antonella hilariously rated them on cuteness, following rules, food, and brotherly love (some improvement was needed here!). You can not go wrong in selecting Antonella. We’d have her back in a heart beat if she were up to the challenge of taking care of Charlie and Asterix again! Antonella and Ramina, we cannot thank you enough for having given us peace of mind while we were away! Thank you and all the best in your travels and future sits!

Lauren was the ideal sitter! She looked after our cat so well, he's usually very very nervous but we could tell from the pictures and videos that Lauren sent us that he warmed up to her much faster than he does with other strangers! Lauren was so helpful to us while we were traveling, we needed to check in with things at home for various urgent reasons and she was just so quick and clear to communicate with us. 10/10 would have Lauren back at our place again!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Kayla and Dawson's dog sitting and house sitting! They were incredibly attentive to Maple, providing me daily updates with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, the house was spotless—Kayla and Dawson even made the bed and did the laundry, which was such a thoughtful touch. They took great care of both my home and my Maple, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters. Thank you both so much!

Erica was great! She communicated well with us, and sent daily updates. When we came home the place was as clean and tidy as we left it. Mila was well taken care of :) We would welcome her back anytime. Thanks so much Erica!

Cindy and Jeff are the most amazing people and all you have to do is ask our guys…they are heads over tails in love with them and we couldn’t agree more!!

Amber was a wonderful sitter and we were happy to have her take care of our cats once again. She was always on top of all our care instructions and communicated really well with us. With Amber at our place, we could have a worry-free trip as we felt assured that she will certainly take care of everything back home. She treated the place like her own and left it very clean. We were also happy that she always kept us posted about what’s going on and sent us regular photos as well and would certainly welcome her back anytime.

Mary Ellen is an excellent house sitter! She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with and accommodated our crazy travel schedule. She took great care of Tabby and took her on some fun hikes! She left our home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to have her back!

5 Star House Sitters in every respect. I’ve have quite a few house/pet sitters over the years since one of my labradors got anxiety hot spots from being in a boarding kennel. Never ever have I been able to completely relax and enjoy my trip like I did this time with Mark and Erin left at the helm. To know that your animals are feeling loved (with healthy boundaries ) was the best feeling. And while we were away for the month the house threw them a couple of maintenance curve balls which they handled like the incredibly competent dynamic duo that they are. Beautiful people - communicated fantastically while handing every challenge with initiative and independence. We came home from a 14 hour flight to a freshly mown lawn and french toast prepared ready to pop in the oven. After a quick and delightful catchup them made themselves scarce, departing for their next adventure because they knew we were tired and wanted to be in our home alone after our long trip to sleep. Truly impressed! Cannot recommend this intelligent, adorable pair enough. Hope to have them back or even return the favourite if we ever make it to Canada.

This was my first time using Zeewoi and how lucky was I to have Annetta. She communicated with me brilliantly and Silkie is missing her.
